Isa and Kars are teenagers in Holland. They have lots of friends. Isa
is in love with a really cool, popular guy at school, and Kars is part
of a breakdance group that plays at all the best events.
But the good times end suddenly when their parents announce that the
whole family is moving to France! The parents bought a rundown
campground there and they need everyone’s help to renovate it in time
for the summer tourist season.
Isa and Kars hate living in France. They don’t speak the language, they
have no friends and they refuse to help their parents do all the hard
work of cleaning up the campground. Then Isa meets a boy from town and
soon everything changes!
Together, they all pitch in to build a super disco and they plan a huge
opening party for the summer season. However, events don’t go quite
according to plan!
Isa’s love life gets more complicated, a long kept secret almost
destroys her new friend, and their disco is sabotaged by a jealous
neighbor.
That’s when Isa, Kars and their friends take matters into their own hands to make things right!
